Listen To The Voices

Labi Siffre

Old man

Your race is run

You think it's over

It's only begun

Child is born

Who has to face

The world you're leaving a dangerous place



Listen To The Voices

Crying to be free

Can we be the promise that we promised to be

Love and understanding are better than a war

People just laughing 'cause they've heard it before



Night chills in Plenty

Town Cardboard hotels

They sleep on the ground

Hard choices How to respond

Red or rosé with the Duck à l'orange



Listen To The Voices

So easy to ignore

Choruses of old folk scared to open the door

Living in the shadows

Dying in the cold

Inner city jungle ain't no place to grow old

Helpless, we'll never be… 'though justice is so hard to see



Kindness, yes

That same old song…but

Don't stop singing

There's so much strength in kindness



Listen To The Voices

Crying to be free

Can we be the promise that we promised to be

Love and understanding are better than a war

People just laughing 'cause they've heard it before
